this may just be me but, i get more from petty crimes than i do for felony crimes, this for me does not make sense as in america 3 felony convictions means life in prison doesant it?

so surely felonys should pay more? and as this is a role playing game shouldant the felonies pay more than a few hundred bucks as they carry large sentences?

just a thought let me know what you all think

This game takes place in the early 20th century.  Looking at inflation, for example, in 1925 500 dollars would be more than 6000 today.

fair enough but still....petty crimes pay more than felony crimes, this doesant make sense to me

Forgot to mention, that part I'd agree with.  Stealing a purse could be a petty crime, and doesn't give more than felonies.  But robbing a bank gives more money than felonies and is hardly a petty crime...you can do 25 to life for bank robbery. 

robbing a post office pays out more than a bank robbery, this is stupid i think

Also - please keep in mind how much your crewleader keeps in taxes.  He or she may keep more for your felonies than your petty crimes.

The amount you can earn on felonies will increase just as the amount you earn on petties has; As you rank, more higher paying felonies will open up to you.

Dureing the 1920s I do think that the Post Office was used more by people then the bank, people dureing that time didnt trust Banks so that could be the reason as well.

actually there you are mistaken, the 1920s and early 30s was very famous for bank robberies  john dillinger and the public enemies for example

Post offices carry more money than a bank?? Lol

maybe its a big post office??

No post office holds more money than a bank, brah haha

Youve never had to pay for Royal Mail ba lol 

post offices hold more than banks?...lol what have you been smoking

Haha nah man not me lol

well that explains it thanks :)

And there goes the explanation.

Thanks Squishy :

i would say when u get the better felony crimes there will be a better payout hopefully.
